Hi, as it’s in my title. I’m looking for narrative driven games with good story, something I can play on my steam deck. Not something open open world but more of a on rails experience.
Things I’ve played that that should give rough idea what I have in mind:

  • The last of us
  • until dawn/the dark pictures anthology series
  • the quarry
  • new/remakes of resident evil games
  • Road 96
  • Alan Wake remake

I obviously have a horror/mystery preferences and I want the story to be told to me, I don’t like the dark souls approach of “guess or read all of the in game books or w/e to have a chance at glimpsing a hint of a story”

So this is way off genre but I will throw it out because it is definitely a mystery that unfolds and is told to you, not atmosphere story telling.. persona 5 is great fun and checks those boxes.

A more horror one would be a plagues tale although I don't recall there being much of a story, I remember the experience feeling a lot like story driven games and light is a big factor much like Alan wake.

Maybe neither will be of interest to you, sharing just in case and for lurkers.
